what sort of fruit do you reccomend i eat?

Question

i want to loose belly flab. i do the sit-ups ect....
when it comes to fruits, what would you reccomend for me to eat? people told me that having to much fruit makes you fat becuse of the sugar it contains.
i want to be slim!
what would say?

Answer 1

any fruit in moderation - but apples do not seem to make you bloat as much as other fruits do

Answer 2

Try and eat a variety as different fruits having different nutritional value. The sugar in fruit is diffferent from the fruit in sweets and things, so unless your eating massive amounts it should'nt stop you from loosing weight on your belly. You say your doing sit ups which is great as it tones, but it may be helpfull to do cardiovascular exersize (such as runnning, cycling) as this will help to burn the fat rather than just toning the muscle. Good luck!

Answer 3

All fruit is good it is best to have a variety, the idea is to have at least three veg and two fruit a day. But when you are trying to lose weight it is often a good idea to have fruit instead of more stodgy snacks, Fruit does contain natural sugar so it is not an unlimited amount but an apple is only about 40cals as is an orange so don't worry to much it is important to include it berry are low as well I think bananas are one of the highest cal fruits but we need variety . good luck in your quest

Answer 4

Eat mixed fresh fruit. Not from a can with all that syrup. 1 cup full a day. All at once or spread throughout the day. Thats from a 1200 cal a day diet. Get it from ur doctor. or look online.

Answer 5

fruit contains natural sugar that your body can convert to energy better than junk food, if your into exercising try bananas for the potassium, apples for fiber, other than those just eat a moderation of fruit, try more veggies.

Answer 6

any fruit in moderation the sweeter the fruit the more the sugar content
